Any help as to getting this app. of my damn PC? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EXTremeWade 0 #3 January 9, 2009 I have XP, and just updated the MSN becuase it kept asking me to for months, and I didn't, but just did becuase I thought if I had the whole package, there may have been some patches that I was missing to delete it all during uninstall wizard..urghh..I want it to go away!

EXTremeWade 0 #8 January 9, 2009 XP... I try the beginner approach. Add/remove. It does not work. Says I need to get the patch, already did though. I went next to the c:/, then program files, no dice. "Other programs may be using it"..Thats the msg. I get from that approach. I suppose Microsoft wants me to keep this bad boy. I then went to "msconfig" on the run panel, and I "unchecked" the MSNmsg from being on the start up menu, and rebooted..still my friend..no joy : ( Wade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiquita24 0 #10 January 9, 2009 So if it's not in the uninstall list, how do you get rid of unwanted programs the correct way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gravitysurfer 0 #12 January 9, 2009 Depends on the program. He didn't state that it wasn't in the "uninstall" list. Only that he was getting a strange message. After we ended the right running process he was able to remove it. Have fun all!! aloha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
